Update on Plugged In

In a post over at io9.com, titled "UNIX-based A.I. and a Siemens Arificial Womb for Men," Annalee Newitz has reviewsPlugged In. Here's a snippet:

Need a quick dose of weird, brainy science fiction but don't have time to commit to an entire short story collection? Then consider a new kind of book, from Aqueduct Press, which you might call a short story single, with an A-Side and a B-Side (though both stories get an A from this reader). Plugged In contains "The Man Who Plugged In," by L. Timmel Duchamp and "Kingdom of the Blind" by Maureen McHugh. Both authors were guests of honor at Wiscon in May, and I grabbed a signed copy at that event. We hear that it will soon be available from Aqueduct.

As a matter of fact, copies of Plugged In will arrive at Aqueduct on Friday, so we'll be putting the title up on our Orders page in the next day or two. I'll be sure to let y'all know when we've got it set up.

Illuminate the Patrick Nielsen Hayden signal: Newitz has misspelled "Delany" (okay, I guess it'd be worse if she'd written "Du Chomp" or one of the other variations on LTD's name I've been seeing around the ljsphere)!

Welcome to Ambling along the Aqueduct

Welcome! This blog is a forum for discussing all things Aqueductian. Conversation, of course, is one of our themes, derived from the notion of feminist sf as a conversation, as explored in "For a Genealogy of Feminist SF: Reflections on Women, Feminism, and Science Fiction, 1818-1960" (reprinted in The Grand Conversation, Vol. 1 of the Conversation Pieces series and available online as an essay titled "That Only A Feminist"). So please do comment freely and often, and if you're interested in making a guest post, write to conversation@aqueductpress.com.
